Would dozens of Chūnin really be afraid of one Genin brat?
Of course not.
It was simply that no one wanted to be the first to rush in.
Whoever went first would have to face the detonation of the Detonating Tags.
Seeing this group of cowardly subordinates, Shinichi Akutagawa was forced to emerge.
"Little devil, do you really think you can escape?"
Looking up at Akira Tsubaki, Akutagawa's tone was severe.
This kid is only slightly fast. From the beginning of the pursuit until now, the opponent hadn't launched a single counterattack; his only tool was the Detonating Tags.
"It seems you're the leader."
Akira Tsubaki, standing on the edge of the pit, looked down, his tone extremely calm.
"Well, how about we form a Treaty of Mutual Trust?" He made a suggestion.
"A Treaty of Mutual Trust?"
Akutagawa was stunned.
Isn't that the contract between Konoha and Kumogakure? This kid wants to imitate it?
But immediately, he laughed.
Trust? I have no such thing as trust.
From this perspective, I might as well listen to this kid's contract proposal.
"Go on, let's hear it."
"Alright! The content of the Mutual Trust Agreement is very simple: you can only come up one by one, and I promise not to throw the Detonating Tags."
After finishing speaking, Akira Tsubaki offered a sincere smile, showing his white teeth.
On the ground.
Akutagawa also burst out laughing when he heard this.
Come up one by one? So you can take us out individually?
"Do I look that stupid?"
Not only did he laugh, but the other ninjas in the pit laughed as well.
"Is this kid out of his mind?"
"Let's rush him all at once and see who he can possibly blow up!"
"That's right, even if we get hit, it's just an injury at best. It's not easy to die."
"Lord Akutagawa, let's charge!"
As the other ninjas shouted, Shinichi Akutagawa's smile widened further.
This brat was so foolish that he successfully rallied all his subordinates.
"Listen to my order—rush up together!"
"Yes!"
Following Akutagawa's command.
Dozens of ninjas leaped up together, scrambling toward the edge of the pit.
"With so many people, what are you going to use to blow them all up?"
Akutagawa looked triumphant, rushing closely behind his subordinates.
But the next moment!
Just as they jumped out of the pit, before their feet landed, they saw a long row of Detonating Tags already burning on the ground beside the pit.
They were seconds away from exploding.
Everyone's faces turned green.
"Damn it!"
"We got tricked, fuck!"
"It's over, I can't change my trajectory!"
"That brat already set up the Detonating Tags!"
At this moment, they were green with regret.
It was all Shinichi Akutagawa's fault, saying 'rush up together!' Isn't this just forming a group to die?
Of course.
Not all ninjas were completely committed to the center of the blast.
Those who jumped a little later still found a way to survive.
For instance, they grabbed the person in front of them.
This way, they at least had a human shield.
Many ninjas were instantly used as shields.
Boom!!!
The explosion sounded, deafening.
The force of the massive explosion tore many ninjas apart, sending limbs flying everywhere.
Jumping onto a tree, Akira Tsubaki briefly offered a moment of silence for the pursuers.
"Hey~~ I told you it was a Treaty of Mutual Trust. If you break the contract and get blown up, you can't blame me."
With that thought, he plunged deeper into the woods.
It's time to go back to the village.
If he kept running in this direction, he'd end up in the Land of Waves.
Two days later.
Team Minato returned to Konoha Village.
Hokage's Office.
After listening to Kushina's mission report, the Third Hokage was filled with emotion.
"Although Akira Tsubaki is only a Genin, he possesses a tenacious Will of Fire. He sacrificed himself, illuminated others, and explained the true meaning of the Will of Fire."
"This is the pride of our ninja! His spirit deserves to be publicized and carried forward!"
With the Third Hokage's conclusion, the deeds of Akira Tsubaki, the Dead Last, were drafted into a vivid teaching material and compiled into the Ninja Academy textbook.
What if he was the Dead Last?
The Dead Last, alone, distracted dozens of Chūnin enemies, sacrificed himself, and made a great contribution to the mission.
This story would not only inspire other Genin but also demonstrate a kind of fearless dedication.
If Akira Tsubaki knew about this, he would definitely give the following assessment:
[Genin, you should learn from me and strive to be useful cannon fodder!]
[Death is worthwhile! Dedicate everything to Konoha!]
[This is the Will of Fire!]
Training Ground Nine.
Kakashi stood in front of a memorial stone, seemingly in silent mourning.
Rin meticulously wiped the stone again and placed a fresh lunch box on it.
Obito found a picture of a large-breasted beauty somewhere and carefully propped it up beside the stone.
"Akira Tsubaki has been written into the Ninja Academy textbook," Kakashi suddenly spoke.
Unfortunately, Rin did not respond. Obito, too, remained silent.
They didn't know that Akira Tsubaki was not only safe and sound but had also encountered a very strange thing.
Within the territory of the Land of Fire.
Walking around the old ox in front of him twice, Akira Tsubaki couldn't believe it.
This is too coincidental, right?
Seemingly recognizing Akira, the old ox let out a few soft 'Moo' sounds.
"Fate is wonderful."
After stroking the ox, Akira Tsubaki jumped directly onto its back.
And so.
The old ox carried Akira Tsubaki slowly toward the village.
Lying on the back of the bull, Akira Tsubaki opened the properties panel.
Name:Akira Tsubaki
Age:12 years old
Strength:56 (28*2)-Jōnin Level
Physique:72-Jōnin Level
Agility:90-Jōnin Level
Spirit:80-Intermediate Immunity
Chakra Amount:298

Comprehensive Strength:Trainee Genin
Scanning the property panel, Akira Tsubaki devised a new plan.
"With my four-dimensional attributes alone, even if I double them to Kage-level or Super-Kage, so what?"
"Without any Ninjutsu or Taijutsu skills, I'm just a strength and speed monster."
Powerful, but lacking skill.
Can speed alone outclass the Space-Time Ninjutsu that exists?
"So, after returning to the village this time, I must learn a powerful Ninjutsu."
"This kind of Ninjutsu should preferably be potent, wide-ranging, and super destructive!"
Akira Tsubaki couldn't bear the thought of being chased by dozens of people again.
If I hadn't had the Detonating Tags, I would have been blown up by those people myself.
